    If it's an aftermarket camera that needs 12V, tap the power to the red wire with blue stripe. Most aftermarket cameras usually have a positive, ground, and an RCA cable. What's the wiring of your camera?

    At tail light: 12v= red/blue wire, I believe the white/black is ground but I grounded my camera to a spot on the frame. Camera RCA to radio rear cam output.

    Yes White Wire with a Black Stripe is the ground wire.
